Anyway, although I still have hours of College Algebra homework to do, I am so thankful I am up here, at the base of the Tetons, enjoying the time I have. :-)

Math in the Mountains
I had the wonderful opportunity to stay in a friend's condo out of town this weekend. At first, I had decided not to go because I have too much homework. However, I got thinking about it and decided that I could still go and do homework while I was there. So here I am! Enjoying the Lord's goodness to me and the change of scenery. He knows what I need and I am so thankful that He is teaching me to be a little more spontaneous and receive the blessings that He wants to give me. I think so many times He is offering things to me, but I don't know how to receive them.

Summer Break
Wow! I haven't updated this thing for ages! That's kinda sad. Maybe I need to go on another trip overseas so that I can reestablish the habit of blogging :)
Someone said the other day, "summer is half over". I'm like, "No! I have been in school for 8 weeks. I haven't even started summer yet!" Actually, I have officially been on summer break for one week now. This is the first real break from school that I have had in 13 months. Even while on Christmas and Spring vacation from EITC, I still had my U of I online classes that I had to work on. It feels kinda weird to be home and not have the pressure of studying. In fact, now that I have had a few days off, I am excited to get started again. I don't want to lose the momentum that has already been established. However, I probably should relax and enjoy the next month because next semester I am taking my two most dreaded classes....College Algebra and Speech. Ug.
To add to the "weirdness" of having a break, my "family" moved to Boise 3 weeks ago. That has been tough. I have been in Blackfoot almost 14 years with them and now they are far away. They have truly been a big part of my life and now I am being forced to really find my own identity in the Lord apart from them. Yeah, Boise is only 4 hours away so I can still visit, but I can no longer pop in on a Friday morning for coffee or hang out after work.
I'm still wrestling with what I am doing in Blackfoot. I like my job, I love the people I work with, and now that I have moved to an upstairs apartment, I love where I live. I am so blessed and thankful for what I have. I just can't seem to find a sustained state of peace where I am not wondering if I am missing God by making the decision to stay. I just keep plugging along day after day and nothing is changing. People around me are getting married, having babies, and basically going somewhere in life. I am going to school to do something that I don't really particularly enjoy, but somehow I think it will open doors for me down the road. I am trying to be faithful with what I have at my hand to do and be content with this prolonged season of life. It just gets discouraging when nothing changes...
Regardless of what I feel or see with my natural eyes, I have to stay in place of faith and trust that the Lord sees and knows. He is faithful and good to me. I may feel stuck in the waiting room, but He is after my heart and is more concerned about the process of trust rather than answering a prayer. But perhaps the trust may have to come by dropping everything here and doing something crazy....

Taking a Moment...
"I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day."

Mac
Well, I did it. I bought myself a Macbook today. I am so excited! I have always wanted one, but never had the courage (well, mostly the money), to switch from a PC to a Mac. Everyone I talked to about it over the years said they would never go back to a PC after using a Mac. Someone made the comment that Mac is Zion and PC is Babylon. May be a pretty true analogy. The Kingdom vs the World System. Watch this:
